CAUTION: This email originated from outside the New Zealand Police Network. DO NOT click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and are assured that the content is safe.

Dear New Zealand Police,

I am interested in the role that Police have in ensuring compliance with bicycle safety infrastructure.

Please supply data from the past 5 full years on:
- stops, warnings and fines issued for vehicles illegally in cycle lanes
- stops, warnings and fines issued for vehicles illegally in advanced stop boxes
- stops, warnings and fines issued for vehicles illegally in any other bicycle only infrastructure (if any)

For comparison, please supply data from the past 5 full years on:
- stops, warnings and fines issued for vehicles illegally in bus lanes
- stops, warnings and fines issued for bicycles illegally on footpaths
- stops, warnings and fines issued for bicycles breaking other road rules (please categorise into sensible breakdown)
- stops, warnings and fines issued for cell phone use while driving

Please supply the above in as much detail as you can, split by region, and year (calendar or financial is fine, but please state which you use)

Formats: Where datasets, tables, or structured information are released, please provide machine-readable formats (CSV or original spreadsheet file) with accompanying data dictionaries or definitions.

OIA request notes:
- I reside in NZ, and eligible to request data under the OIA
- Under OIA s16(2) I request that you reply via this channel (via fyi.org.nz)

Yours faithfully,

B. White
